*Kanika Pov*

"Will you not tell me what happened? You are like this from early morning, Kanika. What happened?" Anitha asked following me around.

"Go and prepare the list, Anitha. We need to get everything before you leave, remember?" I asked ignoring her question.

"I didn't even sign the contract yet. However, you are important right now. Why do you never share your thoughts with me?" she asked in a hurt tone.

I closed my eyes while gripping the plate in my hands tightly to control my fear and calmly turned around with a smile.

"Can't I miss you from now on as you are leaving soon?" I questioned her and she smiled before rushing towards me and hugged me.

"Just for one year mostly I think and we will stay in contact. You will also be busy with your course." She pointed out letting me go while my hands trembled while remembering yesterday's night incident.

"Even though I am leaving you here, I am excited to finally get some success, Kani. When everything will finish, I will have enough funds for us to buy an amazing house in a secure place." She added in an excited tone.

"Right!" I whispered nodding while she took the plate from my hands saying she will go and get some ice cream for us to have after lunch.

After getting ready, she walked out of the house and I finally collapsed on the chair not able to compose myself anymore.

How can I pass this situation? What if I go right now and pay the fees so that there will be nothing with me for him to take?

But if he doesn't go away then I will really have nothing to make him leave. I thought rubbing my face.

I have been thinking of a solution since yesterday night and even thought of lodging a complaint. However, what kind of crime should I lodge him for?

Even if he gets into custody when I tell the officers about threats and previous incidents, he can come out soon and can go along with his threat to ruin Anitha's career.

If she was not with me, then she wouldn't be in this trouble at all. I couldn't help but feel guilty even though I can still think of a solution to stop him.

What if I give him money continuously until Anitha gets settled in her career? No! I will not be able to bear it again and also throw away my dream like that for that man who is supposed to be my father.

And even if I give money, if he gets greedy to gain more by reaching out to media then it will be out of my reach to solve it.

However, if I show my weakness before him by showing care for Anitha then he will take advantage of it.

What should I do? Why now? God! I got startled hearing a sound from my phone and frowned at Anitha's message.

'My crush is here to take me to the lunch appointment with Mr. Vikranth. He is so handsome! And right now he is buying a dress for me. Ahh...!'

I smiled at her message while finally calmly my heart down from the scare I got from the sound of this message.

I shouldn't let her lose this chance or get in any trouble because of me. I got ready deciding to file a police complaint so that he will not do anything at least until she leaves India for work.

I am sure GH can handle it as it is a big company and even the words he will say to the media will not have proof and the things he has proof for will not affect her if she is not here.

Before I could step out, I got another message from Anitha saying, 'I am coming back home. I am in need of your consoling.'

I stopped my plans after getting that message and postponed my plan to go out and sat down while waiting for her to return.
